Changes v Bombers

[jackster83]

If the roof is shut, then go in unchanged.

If the roof is open, then the games tend to be a little more scrappy and error prone, in which case Maric out and Reilly in.

 

[resurrector]

Yeah, Ryder won't ruck the whole game, will be swapped with someone. Only reason he played 100% game time and all of it in the ruck on ANZAC day is he was BOG at the time so they didn't change it. (He won the ANZAC day medal for his ruckwork.)

Would probably be smart to go a tall forward structure, we're a few tall defenders short at the moment. Although on the other hand, we're also missing many of our key midfielders, so you could potentially try and exploit that too.

In any case, good luck on the weekend boys. Always enjoy watching us play your mob, you've got a nice and honest team who I genuinely don't hate (one of only a few clubs)

sorry but living in adelaide has driven me to completely hate the crows! this week is up there with beating the pies n carlton for me....it is a MUST. with dempsey and pris to come back in side it's time for knighter's neons to blaze craigy's crowbots.

we'll be too swift on our toes to get caught up with them crows!

The roof is always shut.

The roof is always shut.

Wasn't it open last weekend?

Anyway, I think its forecast to rain nearly all weekend so the roof will probably be shut.

 

[KR37]

The roof was open for the Essendon Geelong match.
I don't see what difference it makes..

 

[magtrev]

It makes a lot of difference to superstitous Crows fans who repeatedly see us thrash teams when the roof is closed and lose when the roof is open

 

[KR37]

Lets hope the roof is open then

Exactly, roof closed please

As for changes I really don't see us making any. The only one would be Maric for someone, I'd rather not see a small, but then it wouldn't bother me too much, as long as Stevens and Walker can cover for Tippett moving back into the ruck. Wouldn't be the worst game to give the likes of Sellar/Mckernan a run as Ryder is only 197cm and both have a pretty solid verticle leap along with being pretty decent ruckman.

Craigy's Crowbots? It's not 2005 anymore.

Another fine example of why there should be a ban on bogans breeding.

You obviously haven't seen the last two weeks. First half last week was sizzling!

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

I personally think Sellar could be in line for a gig, wouldnt suprise me at all to see him playing as a mobile ruckman. His tp work in the SANFL, I feel, is very good. His lack of height at AFL level will be a query but against a depleted Bombers ruck crew I think its a perfect time to play him.

With a brother who is an Essendon supporter, this week is up there with beating Port - it is a MUST probably more of a MUST since I don't really spend time with Port supporters but I see my brother every week and he is THE worst winner! He's already getting annoying and has come with up with logic that since round 3 Essendon has a pattern of WLWLWLWL so obviously Essendon will win. Last year I had a $20 bet with him and it was soo good when he had to come over and hand me that $20 but this year he's too worried to bet - he was all up for making a bet 3 weeks ago, but after how well the Crows have played the past 2 weeks, he's gone scared and refusing to make it.

 

[Super Gusto]

You guys were very impressive last week. Alot faster than many people thought. Hopefully it will be a cracking match this Sunday.

Agreed, Sellar will replace Maric to come in to do some ruckwork.

It's either the ruck or an SANFL career.

oh i forget because craigy has just revolutionised the game plan the last 3 weeks hasnt he so now you're finally playing a decent brand of attacking footy

craig just seems to copy whatever game plan is in vogue at the time, he'll get shown up by knights this week of whom craig pretty much stole his ideas from (ok maybe a little from thompson at geelong too)

anyway enough of this false bravvado, i'm pretty worried about this game too, it should be a cracker and lets hope both teams play some free wheeling, entertaining footy.

my tip, bombers by 11!

Wow. You came up with this all by yourself? Not bad for a seven year old. I think however you better let your mum have the computer back sunshine. Now go to your room and finish your homework, or there will be no dessert for you !

 

[resurrector]

oooh touch a nerve there did i? tell me this then, how long will it take craigy to make a change if/when lloyd or neagle steps up n dobs a few in succession?

i think craigy's a pretty astute coach don't get me wrong, but his match day nous is a little lacking, as is his originality

He wont have to. You'll struggle to get 10 goals all day (most in the 3rd). We'll be there by half time

Way to put the amateur troll in his place

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I hope we don't try to pick a 'faster' team just because we're playing Essendon. With their injury trouble we can expose them with our talls. I hope we keep the same line up.

We're going to be slower than they are. And that is regardless of whether we bring in Reilly and/or Petenko or not. There will be times where Lovett streaks through the middle and makes us look like we're all on treadmills. But we can't do anything about it. So we should play to our strengths.

i got a funny feeling you may just live to eat those words, haven't you learnt anything from the brisbane game?

Yes, we learnt Bock is essential to our backline.

What did you learn from the Geelong game??
